SQL Server 2008 r2

For those that couldn’t justify going to to TechEd in LA, you may not be aware that the next version of SQL Server has been announced. Following the Windows Server practice of major minor releases then new baby is SQL Server 2008r2.

Why another release so soon? Maybe this video will help..

How does the new release help? here’s a quick rundown of what’s coming in r2..

This is not funny anymore. I am a big fan of Microsoft products, but this is too much. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD SUSTAINABLE IT CORE if you have to watch that maybe next week your just-installed SQL Server will become obsolete and unsupported! I’m gonna switch my mind to Oracle, which is more long-lasting product. I’m sure 11g will EASILY survive next 10 years, whereas in Microsoft world I’ll have to reinstall my fundamental infrastructure several times. I refuse to accept it. It’s not cost-wise or business-wise. Thanks for the article.
